Wednesday night Clemens, Johanna, Louise, Laetitia, Emily and I had a fondu party at Laetitia's house. It was kind of... interestante. Haha the fondu set didn't really work, so we tried microwaving it, and then it went sort of fluffy and sort of chunky, and then stirred it over the candle until it melted to liquid. But there's something off about Peruvian chocolate! We're not sure what exactly it is, but maybe it's because you can feel the chunky grains of sugar between your teeth... mmm crunchy.... and it's just too sweet. But it was good. I love hanging out with these people. The Germans are actually the most sarcastically hilarious people I've ever met, and it makes it even better because they're quite a bit older, like 23, and still have to deal with odd stupid family rules and early curfews like the rest of us. Quite funny sometimes! And we all have issues with the AFS ways here. I don't wanna make this a jounral entry again but oh my. "Someone" is telling us about and enforcing rules that don't actually exist; and are not AFS rules in any of the other cities in Peru, but the way they think things should be in Chimbote. For example, apparently I AM allowed to go to discotecas and dance as long as I don't buy any drinks. I noticed Mikeala is allowed to too and she's 16 in Italy, with AFS, same organization. It isn't because of age here either, because all my colegio friends are allowed in at 15/16. It's only as long as you don't drink. This someone has also said that Johanna and Clemens are not allowed to travel every weekend (they are adults here from Germany working for their social service, for free, 5 days a week) like how was originally agreed for them. Travelling to other cities has been somewhat discouraged if it is not with Jose. But only in Chimbote. In Trujillo for example, their AFS volunteers keep encouraging them to travel and see other cities in Peru as part of the exchange. It'd be cooler if there was actually something TO DO in Chimbote.. other than eat food and go to the even-"better"-than Whitehorse cinema hahaha. Anyways. Muchas cosas. Slightly. Annoying cosas.
Two of my friends from colegio, Maricielo and Daevis, brought me a present from the trip to Ecuador! They bought me a beautiful purple t-shirt from Mancora, which is one of the sweetest playas (beaches) they saw. Aaw it was so sweet of them!! <3
Yesterday I bought cough medicine. I guess after almost two weeks of sore throat and one of cough... I'll take my meds haha. Usually stuff just goes away! But now it's gotten annoying hahaha. Peruvians on the other hand, run screaming to the doctor after 2 minutes of any sort of pain or symptom, even if it's just a headache! Hahaha. And I figured out why I haven't been able to call people on my phone. Didn't have credit. So I went and bought 10 soles worth of credit. And... it still doesn't work. I'm very confused by their weird phone systems and shtuff.
And I almost destroyed the bottom part of my hair string hippie art thing when I accidentally tried to straighten it with the rest of my hair. Turns out the string melts. Yay. But it's only about a cm or 2 hahahah
